The Lavochkin La-7 In Profile & Scale

Volume no.4 of the Profile & Scale series details the Lavochkin La-7 fighter as never seen before. More than 50 La-7 examples are faithfully documented in full-colour profile, many appearing for the first time. Moreover, the work contains many pages of original, never previously published 1:48 scale line drawings of the entire La-7 family. These line drawings are the culmination of nearly 30 years' dedicated work on the La-7, and should present the most complete, accurate and illuminating scale work regarding the aircraft at the present time. The book presents many production, development and detail facts about the La-7 which have hitherto been undocumented. The scale drawings and profiles are complimented by more than 35 photographs, some never before published. It is fervently hoped that at long last many hitherto confused or inaccurate details of the La-7 fighter will be clarified and rectified. Many of the colour profiles represent examples which will be familiar to students of the La-7, albeit completed to the utmost standard of accuracy. Several profiles will doubtless be new even to experienced readers, and it is hoped these will delight both the casual reader and the serious student, equally. A detailed summary of the aces of the profiled La-7 aircraft is included in graphical format. These pilot cards will round out a volume which should be a treasure trove of information regarding the La-7 for both modellers and students of history.
